Alsace is right next to Champagne - so the Cremant d'Alsace is a close as it gets to real Champagne at a fraction of the price. Pretty pale yellow colour, dry and acidic (maybe a touch too acidic) but a palate cleanser - great with sushi

This provides good value, loads of flavour and serious fine-bead bubbles; what’s not to like? It opens with a tantalizing nose of orange blossom, honeyed orange and citrus aromas followed by a lovely mousse attack on the palate with oodles of racy zesty flavour – lemongrass, red currant and citrus galore. It’s light on its feet with a refreshing mouth-watering finish. It’s the perfect aperitif with which to welcome guests. Score: 4 (out of 5) Source: Vic Harradine, winecurrent.com
